accordance with BS EN 28662-1:1993, ISO 8662-1:1988 and BS EN ISO 28927-8:2009 results in the
following
vibration emission declared in accordance with BS EN 12096:1996.
Measured vibration emission value: 4.3m/s² Uncertainty: 1.72m/s²
These values are suitable for comparison with emission levels of other tools that have been subject to the
same test.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is inadequately managed.
Recommended Measures to reduce risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome:
This tool should not be used by an individual regularly for more than 331 minutes in any 8 hour period.

3. PREPARING TOOL FOR USE
3.1 Air Supply
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.1 Ensure tool air valve (or trigger) is in "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2 You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3.1.3 WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the tool. Too
high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be
dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4 Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
3.1.5 Clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.6 Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The
minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.7 Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.2 Couplings.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool.
To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick change coupling may then be used to
connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See figs.1 & 2.
3.3 UNIVERSAL AIR SWIVEL JOINT
3.3.1 This tool includes a Universal Air Swivel Joint (48), which allows the user to manipulate the air line in any
way necessary to easily and successfully complete the task in hand.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and
apply the safety instructions.
4.1 Ensure that your workpiece is properly secured
and, if necessary, marked out.
4.2 Start the saw and bring the moving blade onto the
workpiece. DO NOT attempt to start the saw with
the stationary blade in contact with the workpiece.
4.3 If the cut ends within the sheet material allow the
blade to come to a stop before removing the saw
from the workpiece.
4.4 If the cut starts within the bounds of the material
cut a starter slot by hand.
4.5 Do not allow the saw to run free (whilst not
being applied to the material) for any
length of time as this will damage the
bearings.
4.6 To change the blade:
4.6.1 Disconnect the saw from the airline.
4.6.2 Loosen the set screw (43).
4.6.3 Remove the blade.
4.6.4 Slide the new blade into place and tighten the
loosened set screw.

parts diagram and list.
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING!Disconnect saw from air supply before changing the blade, servicing or performing
maintenance.Replace or repair damaged parts.
Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
5.1 Unless the air supply system includes an oiler, lubricate the air saw daily with a few drops of air tool
oil, dripped into the air inlet before use (use Sealey part no. ATO/500 or ATO1000).
5.2 Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or restriction in the air line. Incorrect size or type of
hose connectors. To remedy, check the air supply and follow instructions in Section 4.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the saw ma y a lso red uce performance. If your model has an air
strainer (located in the area of the air inlet), remove the strainer and clean it. Flush the saw out
